5 CC Primers For Prettier Skin

Forget concealer. A new breed of rainbow-colored creams promises to reduce redness, brighten and even your skin tone better than anything else

If you've been following the "alphabet cream" trend, you know all about BB creams and CC creams, and you've probably been waiting patiently for DD creams to surface. (A few brands have tried to make DDs happen, without much success.)

Well, the latest iteration is here, and -- shockingly -- it doesn't fall between the letters D and Z. Instead, it's a CC spinoff: color-correcting primers.

While traditional makeup primers fill in fine lines and pores, preparing skin for foundation, CC primers take it one step further and improve your skin's tone. They hide redness, brighten sallowness and even diffuse pigmentation, meaning your foundation only has to work half as hard to give you flawless skin. You can even wear CC primers alone -- it's the perfect no-makeup makeup … which means you might not need your other BB or CC after all.
